Rheem 7.5 Ton R-454B Commercial Packaged Air Conditioner — RACDYB090ACG000AAAA0
The Rheem RACDYB090ACG000AAAA0 is a 7.5-ton Commercial Renaissance Classic Series packaged air conditioner, the entry point of Rheem's medium-commercial RACD line. It arrives factory-charged with low-GWP R-454B, wired for 208/230V three-phase power, and rated at 85,000 BTU/h AHRI net cooling with an 11.2 EER and 14.8 IEER. A two-stage scroll compressor, all-microchannel coils, and a belt-drive blower with a standard variable frequency drive (VFD) let this convertible downflow/horizontal rooftop unit hold tight comfort in mid-size commercial buildings served by 208/230V service.
Is a 7.5-Ton Package Unit the Right Size?
This 7.5-ton unit opens Rheem's medium-commercial RACD range and is matched to cooling loads near 85,000 to 88,000 BTU/h, which for many commercial buildings works out to roughly 3,000 to 4,500 sq ft of conditioned space. Floor area is only a starting point, though — a full load calculation is what actually sizes a unit this large.
Occupant density, outside-air ventilation, roof and wall insulation, west-facing glazing, and process or kitchen heat all move the number well above or below what the square footage suggests. The two-stage compressor and VFD blower help this unit modulate to part loads, but that is not a substitute for a Manual N-style commercial load calculation, which is the right way to confirm this capacity fits the zone and keeps humidity in check.
Ideal for: Larger retail floors, restaurants, worship spaces, community and banquet rooms, fitness studios, medical suites, and mid-size assembly areas served by 208/230V three-phase power.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 8.5-Ton Rheem R-454B 208/230V 3-Phase Package Unit (RACDYB102ACG000AAAA0) for larger zones that need more cooling capacity.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual capacity requirements depend on insulation, ventilation, occupancy, solar gain, ceiling height, and local design temperatures. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

The RACDYB090ACG000AAAA0 ships as one factory-assembled, wired, and run-tested cabinet, so there is no field refrigerant line set to braze — it arrives charged with R-454B and ready to set, connect power and ducting, and commission. For curbed rooftop installs, pair it with the matching 7.5–12.5 Ton Rheem 14 in. roof curb (RXKG-DDD14).

Frequently Asked Questions
What size space will the RACDYB090ACG000AAAA0 cool?
It is matched to commercial cooling loads near 88,000 BTU/h (85,000 BTU/h AHRI net), which often lands around roughly 3,000 to 4,500 sq ft of commercial space. Because occupancy, ventilation, glazing, and internal heat gain move the real load, size it with a commercial load calculation rather than floor area alone.
What power does the RACDYB090ACG000AAAA0 require?
This unit is wired for 208/230V, 3-Phase, 60 Hz. On the standard VFD-Medium drive it needs a minimum circuit ampacity of 44 A and a maximum overcurrent protection device of 60 A (compressor RLA 25.2 A). If your building distributes power at 460V, order the 460V three-phase 7.5-ton version (RACDYB090ADG) instead.
Is this a two-stage unit, and does it have a VFD?
Yes. Every RACDYB unit provides two stages of cooling, and a variable frequency drive (VFD) on the belt-drive blower is standard. The two-stage scroll compressor and VFD blower modulate to hold comfort and improve humidity control at part load.
Can this package unit be installed downflow and horizontal?
Yes. Airflow is field-convertible between vertical downflow (for curbed rooftop openings) and horizontal side-flow. A matching 14 in. Rheem roof curb (RXKG-DDD14) is available for 7.5–12.5 ton RACD units.
Does this unit include heat?
This is a cooling-only (straight-air) packaged air conditioner. Electric resistance heater kits are available as accessories on the RACD platform; if built-in heating is required, a gas/electric or heat-pump package unit is the better starting point.
Does the RACD package unit include a warranty?
Yes. Rheem provides a limited warranty on the RACD series — typically a 5-year compressor and 1-year parts limited warranty for commercial applications. See the Rheem Limited Warranty document above for full terms and conditions.
